Abstract

Precise control over the deformation of elastic organic crystals, crucial for flexible electronics, has been a challenge. This study presents a non-destructive method for remote bending of organic crystals by coupling them with magnetic nanoparticles. The resulting hybrid actuating elements exhibit precise, arbitrary shape control via magnetic fields, demonstrating robustness and repeated flexing without compromising integrity. Their use as optical waveguides with remotely controlled light output showcases their potential in flexible optoelectronic devices.
